They are LC CSS pads. I also looked at the my Flex's Velcro backing plate, right in the middle where the bolt is there is a half-dollar size edge where the velcro melted.

I'm thinking a couple of explanations:

- the pad was defective, transferring heat to the backing plate and melting it

- the flex was defective, melting the plate and damaging the pad (unlikely b/c the white pad didn't have any problems)

- the pad got saturated w/ product, so i increased pressure for more cutting. this caused the pad to break down allowing heat to transfer to the back plate and melting the velcro.


I'll post pictures once ImageShack comes back online.
